How to let go of the past. Sometimes feel empty and dead inside, I do things that the idea “feels good,” but in reality, I don’t even enjoy when I am doing it, and then I feel utterly disgusted, shamed, and angry at myself. Like sometimes after doing this, I hate myself for a long time, about 1 to 3 days, or even a week. But it’s an emotional avoidance, and for validation. What I am doing here. The thing is, I used to be a loser and I used to seek validation, but now I am not a loser anymore like I work out and stuff. But sometimes I feel like the old self that was a loser, and I do stupid stuff. Does anyone feel like me? bros i need help submitted by /u/sander-4790
